The Way it Was Before Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C][Gdim][C]
[Dm]Oh[Ddim][Fm][Dm][C]
Feels like yesterday
I was [Em]living [Dm]at my[C] p[Dm]ar
ents'[Ddim]house[Dm][C]
I blinked [Em]and things changed
Fast for[Em]ward [Dm]and I was moving out

[Verse 2]
I can only ex[Em]ist in three
dimen[A]sions at a [Dm]time
Who am I to res[Em]ist a river
[A]flowing left to [Dm]right?
[C]It's like we've been

[Verse 3]
dancing in
[C]the [Dm]dark (oh yeah)
[C]A g[Fm]reat [Ddim]big exp[Fm]ansion[C]
[Bbm]from a[C] sp[Dm]ark[C][Ddim]
[Fm]Over[Dm] in a mo m[C]ent
Finished in a flash
Slipping [C]through [Dm]my fingers
Life's an [C]hourglass[Fm]
Shattered [C]on the floor, [Em]oh[A][Dm]
It'll [Fm]never be the way [C]it was before
No
[C][Dm][Fm][C]

[Verse 4]
Feels like yesterday
I was [C]falling [Em]in
[Dm]love[Fm][Dm][C]
Then came the heartbreak
[C]Like it [C]alway[Dm]s doe[Fm]s

[Verse 5]
Nobody es[C]capes it
Time's a losing game
Might as well [C]em [Dm]brace it
'Til it flies [Fm]away

[Verse 6]
[Em]Know that nobody [A]can stay [G]forever
[Dm]young (forever young)[Fm]
[Em]Wish I could just take a [A]break from [G]grow
ing [Dm]up (from growing u[C]p)

[Verse 7]
It's like we've been [C]dancing[Dm]
in [Am]the d[Dm]ark[Ddim][Fm]
A great big ex[C]pansion [Bbm]from
[Am]a sp[Dm]ark[Fm]
Over in a [C]mo ment
Finished in a flash
[A]Slipping through my [Dm]fingers
Life's an [Fm]hourglass
Shattered on [C]the floor, [Em]oh[A]
[Dm]It'll never be the [Fm]way i[Ddim]t
[Fm]was [C]before[A][Dm]
The [Fm]way it w[C]as before
[A][Am][Dm]

[Verse 8]
[Fm]Over in a mo m[C]ent
Finished in a flash
Slipping through my [Dm]fingers
Moving way [Fm]too fast

[Verse 9]
Wish I had just a little more,
oh oh
[Dm]It'll never be the way it was before
